Abstract

In the paper we discuss possible applications of the so-called stroboscopic tomography (stroboscopic observability) to selected decoherence models of 2-level quantum systems. The main assumption behind our reasoning claims that the time evolution of the analyzed system is given by a master equation of the form ρ˙=Lρ\dot{\rho} = \mathbb{L} \rho and the macroscopic information about the system is provided by the mean values mi(tj)=Tr(Qiρ(tj))m_i (t_j) = Tr(Q_i \rho(t_j)) of certain observables {Qi}i=1r\{Q_i\}_{i=1} ^r measured at different time instants {tj}j=1p\{t_j\}_{j=1}^p. The goal of the stroboscopic tomography is to establish the optimal criteria for observability of a quantum system, i.e. minimal value of rr and pp as well as the properties of the observables {Qi}i=1r\{Q_i\}_{i=1} ^r .
